AFAIK, the error shouldn't be related to ports, either. It seems that nobody else has met it so far under 4.0-S. Which confirms that the problem should not be related to the 4-STABLE sources. *If* all of the above statements hold, your error **might** be related to a subtle updating issue. Whether or not this is the case, you might want to have a look at the FAQ found at http://www.polstra.com/projects/freeware/CVSup/faq.html ; in particular, you might want to read the list=3Dcvs:<appropriate_tag> considerations. Nothing else comes to mind at the moment. Probably somebody more knowledgeable will provide a complete and definitive answer. He or she is welcome :-) Best regards, Salvo To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
